Then. there is the provision of the 1924 act providing for the registration of all aliens who have entered since July 1. 1924. The gap in the law between 1921 and 1924 might well be cared for by extending the law so that all persons in the United States lawfully must obtain certificates of residence. This would leave the alien who had entered illegally or who came lawfully and remained after the allotted time to be registered. Not being eligible. a registration law would bring about his voluntary departure or being easily discoverable. by lack of a6crtiflcate showing lawful residence. he would become subject to deportation.
